odd misfire
Turbo Mini Forums

Evening, looking for some advice. At pod i noticed my afr was alittle leaner than usaul, and on my last run the marshalls said i "was leaking fuel at the lauch" I couldnt find evidence at the time.
On sunday i let a lady friend drive the car and we end up playing with her friends tyre r and a skyline, we developed a miss fire and the wide bamd was showing lean on boost. compression test showed no3 slightly lower than the rest. Nic has been working locally and popped in to assist swapping the head gasket, on reassembly we found no3 inlet to have poor seating and a split hose feeding acuator. I had hoped when this work completed problems would be cured, WRONG!!! the problem is still evident!!
Ive been out in the grage all eve, ive checked all hoses for leaks and found none, checked everything to no avail, alll i found was a poorly seating wastegate which may account for loss of boost at avon and pod? Fuel pressure is as it should be, so is compression. The only thing i noticed is choke seal weeps fuel badly when carb is under pressure, surely it cant be that simple?
Cheers
Shane
